Motor vehicle accidents can happen at any time of year and for a large number of reasons, from DUI to speeding and fatigue. However, you should be aware of certain times when the likelihood of an accident may be even higher. For example, if you plan on driving during the Fourth of July, you may want to review statistics on the frequency of motor vehicle accidents during this holiday.

When it comes to speeding, there are various factors to consider. For example, some people accidentally drive over the speed limit without realizing it, while others recklessly get behind the wheel and reach excessive speeds intentionally. Regardless, any time a driver speeds, they put lives at risk in Mecklenburg, and all other cities in North Carolina.

There are all sorts of dangers that can increase the chances of a motor vehicle accident proving deadly. For example, if a reckless driver reaches excessive speeds or is driving while severely impaired due to alcohol or drugs, the outcome may be devastating. If you are concerned about fatal accidents, there are other factors that you should think about, such as the time of day that you are on the road. If you have to drive at night on a regular basis, for work or any other reason, you should be vigilant and recognize the dangers.

You might choose to walk for any number of reasons. For example, you may decide to walk to work because your car is in the shop. Or, perhaps you walk your children to school or simply enjoy getting some exercise. Unfortunately, some people who do these same activities lose their lives after being struck by a North Carolina driver. To make things worse, many of these pedestrian accidents never should have happened and only took place because a driver was intoxicated or failed to pay attention.

When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, many factors can affect victims, such as the extent of the damage and the severity of injuries that were sustained in the crash. For younger drivers, traffic collisions can upend their lives in various ways. For example, they may lose the ability to play a sport that they are very talented at or they may have a harder time getting to class each day. For parents, as well as teens, understanding some of the risks and always focusing on prevention is key.

Motor vehicle accidents take place for diverse reasons, from intoxicated drivers to icy roads and speeding. That said, traffic collisions in Mecklenburg and other parts of North Carolina may also happen due to distracted drivers. When someone takes the eyes off of the road while operating a car, truck or any type of vehicle, they increase the chances of a potentially perilous outcome.

You love taking your pet in the car, but you always make sure he's not in your lap or a distraction to you. There are different kinds of grating and devices designed to keep pets safe and out of the way during drives. Still, you see other drivers with pets in their laps all the time. It's dangerous, and that is changing in North Carolina.
